Before you is the unique story of the creation of the legendary “Psycho”, the progenitor of all psychological thrillers. The author, in the form of a novel, guides the reader through all stages of bringing to life one of the most significant films of world cinema. The narrative uses personal documents of Alfred Hitchcock, interviews with actors, screenwriters and technicians, which creates a unique “insider” atmosphere of the book. The author scrupulously examines the entire history of the creation of “Psycho”: the real crimes that formed the basis of the plot, the creation of the script, filming, the victorious march of the film around the planet... In his novel, rich in details, he reveals for the first time to Hitchcock fans what was most important for the great director when creating his immortal masterpiece. Based on the novel by Stephen Rebello, a film of the same name was made in Hollywood, which was released around the world in early 2013.
